february bunco

february means LOVE but it also means COUPLES BUNCO! this year we played at laura's house — she and DEREK did a great job hosting. it was a fun night having the handsome husbands in attendance. we missed STEPH C and PETER but we had TRICIA and DENNIS there to take their places. we enjoyed CHICKEN SPAGHETTI, two giant salads, GARLIC bread, cheese and crackers, FRUIT, veggies and three DESSERTS — mmm! and we all came wearing our cute VALENTINE outfits. :)

taking home the cash were...

JULIE — most buncos, $35 (4)
GINNY — 2nd most buncos, $20 (3)
MARK P (darlene's hubby) — most wins, $30 (15)
ROGER (mary's hubby)— 2nd most wins, $15 (13)
DARLENE — 3rd most wins, $10 (11)
DENNIS (tricia's hubby) — most losses, $10 (12)
BROOKE — last bunco, mardi gras theme prize

there was a roll-off for 2nd most buncos that included LIZ, michele, ginny, LAURA, sherry and MARK S (michele's hubby) who all rolled THREE BUNCOS — and GINNY came out on top. darlene and michele rolled off for 3rd most wins with DARLENE taking home the prize. and the prize for LAST BUNCO was a mardi gras mask, some wine, a BEIGNET mix, a hurricane cocktail mix, PRALINE fudge, a POMEGRANATE candle and some colorful MARDI GRAS BEADS!

congratulations to all the winners! see you next month at BROOKE'S for march bunco.

january bunco

JANUARY BUNCO was at SHERRY's house. we ate SPINACH SALAD, VENISON/GOOSE/SHRIMP GUMBO, and amish FRIENDSHIP bread ~ it was all DELISH! no liz, steph c, or julie so we had THREE SUBS ~ marlene, debra and kathy. we listened to JOHN MAYER... we drank lots of water... we watched GEORGIE do tricks... we talked about the two hour lines at RANDALLS store at jones and west roads ~ they were closing and are having a 50% off sale. and somewhere in there we managed to roll some DICE. here's a quick run down of the WINNERS... like i always say, SUBS always win... :)

NEXT BUNCO will be saturday, february 13th at LAURA's house in coles crossing. it'll be COUPLES BUNCO so that means the HUSBANDS are invited... or we can bring a DATE. hehe! and speaking of what to bring, we are each to bring a SIDE DISH and it's also BYOB.

december bunco

THE BEST BUNCO GROUP EVER met last wednesday at STEPHANIE S' home. it was CHRISTMAS BUNCO and all twelve BUNCO BABES were present -- no subs! STEPHANIE S made a lovely dinner which included ham, SWEET POTATOES with onions and apples, risotto and baked tomatoes -- yum!!! we had CHEESECAKE for dessert and drank lots of wine too. we had so much fun mingling, we didn't even play -- except for one big ROLL-OFF to see who would take home the prize. all twelve of us started out rolling for the highest number with GINNY, STEPHANIE C and SHERRY tying with 6's which meant another roll-off. SHERRY came out on top, rolling another 6, and got some SASSY GLOVES and a box of pretty ornaments. we decided to use the money in the pot to purchase flowers and a WINDCHIME for the funeral of michael rice, the 16-year-old son of one of our neighbors who moved away a few years ago.

it was another long bunco night -- i think it was close to 11pm when i finally got home. what a great group of BUNCO BABES. i feel so lucky to be one of them. merry christmas everybody!

september bunco

SEPTEMBER BUNCO was held at BROOKE'S house this month. we were missing the BUNCO BOX but that didn't stop us. STEPHANIE C eventually found it though. we feasted on chicken pasta casserole, fresh bread and salad and drank BLACK BOX wine. we celebrated STEPHANIE C's and MARY's birthdays with a homemade strawberry cake. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, girls! by the way, we should really work on our singing. i'm just sayin'...

lots of subs... MARLENE, DEBBIE, KIM, our newest neighbor on the circle, and HOLLY, brooke's neighbor, subbed for the missing WILMA, STEPHANIE S, MICHELE and SHERRY. we had so much fun. someone even wet their pants. okay, she didn't REALLY wet her pants but her pants were wet. oh, nevermind...

lots of ties... the prize for MOST BUNCOS went to GINNY who tied with JULIE. they each rolled 4 buncos. MARY and HOLLY split 1st and 2nd most wins and each took home $15. $5 went to DARLENE who tied with LIZ for most losses (12). KIM rolled the LAST BUNCO and got a STARBUCKS gift card! the subs always win... ;)

next month's bunco will be at WILMA's. see you there!
